Address Book: I want new cards only in a intelligent group

I would like to have an intelligent group in my address book that groups cards with email addresses but only the ones I added after a certain date. I's clear how to set the group for cards with email addresses but I don't understand the function with the dates. I am sorry for the bad expressions I use here, but sometimes it's hard to translate them from german to english as I use the german version of address book.
Thanks for your help.

Greetings Patrick:
Your English is fine. My only correction is that we call them smart groups rather than intelligent groups.
Right now there isn't a way to make a smart group for cards added after a certain date, but you can make a smart group for cards edited after a date.
[ Card ] [ was updated after ] [ 2/8/2006 ]
for example.
That might help you find the cards you want.

I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one?

I had to do a re-install of Thunderbird after a crash. How do I get my old address book into my new one? There are only a few of the contacts I had, so there must be a location where the rest are, but not sure where to look. And once I find them (with your help), how do I get them into the address book?

If you copy abook.mab or history.mab into a profile folder, they will show up as Personal Address Book and Collected Addresses. But if the mab files have names other than abook or history, they can only be imported to TB with the use of [https://nic-nac-project.org/~kaosmos/morecols-en.html MoreFunctionsForAddressBook].

Address book missing in New Message Window

Although I can append the Address Book icon to the toolbar in the main Mail window, this is not acessable from the New Message Window. I have several email accounts and prefer to not use the auto-complete tool in Mail. However, I'd rather not have to enter the email address manually. In Snow Leopard, I could search the addressbook directly from the new message window.
How do I add address to the "To Field" from my address book once a new message is created besides drag and drop from Address Book app?

Hi.
You can add the contact to Address Book once you have sent the message. Go to Sent, select the message, and when you see it on the preview pane, in the "To" field, click and hold on the address you want to add, and select "Add to Address Book" from the drop down menu.
Good Luck.

Unless your carrier doesn't have the required SIM card size, you can get a new SIM card from your carrier. There is usually no charge for this.
If you don't have an Apple iCloud account or if you do being accessed on the iPhone with contacts turned off for over the air syncing, you should be able to transfer contacts from the Address Book app on your Mac via the iTunes sync process. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
If you have an iCloud account, you can sync contacts over the air with the Address Book on your Mac. After confirming your contacts are available with your iCloud online address book - checked by logging in with your iCloud account using a browser on your Mac, you can then turn Contacts on for over the air syncing with your iCloud account settings on your iPhone and your contacts will then be available there and kept synced automatically over the air between your iPhone address book, your iCloud online address book, and the Address Book on your Mac without having to sync with iTunes for this.

How to bring in Address book to a New User I created on Mac

I had to create a new userid on my mac and I have an address book on the old userid. How can I bring in the new address book into the new user?
On the old user I exported the address book to the User\shared directory. Then I logged into the new user and tried to import. It doesn't import.
Both accounts are Admin. When I look at the address folder in User\shared, it has the red circle on the bottom of the folder. I can't bring it in. HELP

When I tried to bring in the file, a message says "Reverting will cause your current database to be overwritten".
When I click Replace All, nothing happens, my entries are not imported. I am not sure what to do next.

In address book on my new macbook pro I can't drag contacts to a new message or drag a group to bcc. What do I need to do?

in address book on my new macbook pro I can't drag contacts to a new message or drag a group to bcc like I could on my 2007 macbook pro. What do I need to do?

The issue has nothing to do with your MacBook Pro. You are using a different version of OS X.
If you are using Apple's Mail application, it will search both previous contacts and the address book as you type the send address.

Migrating Mail and Address book to a new Mac

Hello All
I have been asked to help a client move emails and address book to a new mac as he didn't fancy the all or nothing approach by using migration assistant. I'm assuming the guy doesn't have a mobile me account and he has stated his old mac has FW400 and the new one has FW800 so I'm thinking I will use an external USB HD to shift the files over.
Am I right in thinking all I need to do is to copy the address book folder from home/library/application support and the mail folder from home/library/mail, then paste them in the same location on the new mac replacing the folders that are there, restart the new mac and all will be well??
If I am missing anything important any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Jonno

Hi All
Ok, one small problem with transferring mail folder and plist from a clients old mac to his new one. Everything looked fine as I left with the correct number of mails etc showing in each of his mail folders but it turns out there is an issue. He can view mails on his .Mac account but when he looks at his POP folder all he can see is the subject line, date and who the mail was from but not any of the content of the mail.
Any ideas what has gone wrong?
Thanks
Jonno

TS1347 How can I send my address book to my new samsung note 10.1 2014 edition?

How can I send my address book to my new samsung note 10.1 2014 edition?

Sync it to an app on your computer using iTunes, then sync your Samsung to the same app. Or sync your address book to gmail, yahoo or hotmail, then sync your Samsung to the same service.

HT204150 I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help

I have just set up icloud and all my contacts are duplicated from Address Book! My new iPhone is also showing duplicate contacts even though they are not duplicated in my address book on my computer. Please can you help?

Also, what are the source of your contacts? are they created on the phone, or you synced from yahoo/hotmail etc.
If thats the case, the circular arrow wont be visible but instead show "groups"
Contacts from different accounts are not synced to iCloud.

How can I see in my address book all contaacts that have not been placed into groups?

How can I see in my address book the contacts that have not been put into groups?

The best way to do that is create a new "smart group" with the following:
This way you can identify those without a group and drag them to one.

The address book in a new email shows only names, no addresses

I recently added new names with their email addresses in "Address Book" - picked the Group I wanted and then clicked the + sign under Names and entered the info in the space to the right. I had already created a mailbox for each name and had gone through Mailbox-Preferences-Rules to have emails from or to routed to the correct boxes [which it did when I clicked on "Apply" at the end of this process]. All this to show what I did prior to choosing "New Message" in Email. When I got the blank email page, I clicked on the Address Book icon above to retrieve the address I wanted and only the names of the people I had entered were displayed, NOT their email addresses. I then restarted the computer - still the same. How do I get the addresses to show up???

Solved the problem. Guess it helps sometimes to write down problems.

Address Book Notes for New Contacts Appear Only In Edit Mode

When I create a new contact in +Address Book+, exit Edit mode, and then add a Note to that new contact, the note is visible only when the contact is switched to Edit mode. This does not effect existing contacts. This problem first appeared yesterday. I didn't do anything unusual with +Address Book+ before the emergence of the problem.
I followed these instructions to rebuild the +Address Book+ database but it had no effect on this problem: "Quit Address Book and drag ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/AddressBook-v22.abcddb to the desktop. It will be rebuilt from the details in Metadata when you restart AB."
Thank you in advance for any ideas you have!

I exported the contact list and deleted Library/Application support/Address book and then re-imported. Everything is fine now.

When adding a new contact in address book, I want the default for display to be last, first. How can I make that the default?

I want names displayed in my address books in a formal manner:
Jones, Fred
Nixon, Jay
Smith, Gertrude
and I would prefer that display be created in that manner when I enter first and last names.
Thanks
Del

Open the Address Book
Select '''View-Show Name As-Last, First'''
